Story
For 1 in 4 of us, every day is a fight — this is something we cannot ignore.
Your donation will directly help to give much-needed support and respect to those in our local communities who are experiencing mental health problems. The funds raised will play an important role in helping to keep our wellbeing services running such as the peer recovery support Margaret* received:
“My peer support worker at Cornwall Mind, Emma, played a crucial role in helping me tackle severe hoarding and clutter issues. I've been trapped for years in a cluttered garage and workshop; it was so bad I simply couldn’t take it leading to chaos throughout my home.
Each week, Emma and I tackled the daunting task of decluttering together. Given my health limitations, Emma took on most of the heavy lifting while I sorted through belongings. Her dedication and hard work, despite the challenges, have been an amazing help. With Emma's support, I've regained mobility and I no longer feel stuck. The difference this has made to my mental health is pretty much immeasurable. Now, I can tackle clutter in other rooms and finally organise my living space. I'm so grateful to Emma and Cornwall Mind for lifting me up. I feel empowered to care for my surroundings again. They say, ‘tidy house, tidy mind’ but I think it’s more ‘tidy mind, tidy house.”
Please support our incredible fundraisers who have signed up to raise awareness and funds by challenging themselves to a Dip in the Dark.
